00:00Keith, I want to get to Rory McIlroy right away with you because we talked to you earlier this week and you were saying you didn't think this was going to be the time that he was going to win the green jacket.
00:08But playing well coming into the tournament, I took him for a top 20 in round number one yesterday.
00:13I see him get to 15 and go, he's four under par.
00:16Like, you know, birdie, par this, bogey, bogey, bogey on the way out, you get a top 20 finish.
00:21The collapse happened and it was unforced errors.
00:24It was like sometimes we just have a bad tee shot or get a bad break.
00:27You see that all the time where, man, I can't believe my ball actually landed behind a tree and now I'm going to have to take a drop or I can't deal with it.
00:33Those unforced errors he had were atrocious down there, but it seems par for the course for Rory sometimes at Augusta.
00:41DRS, I mean, he sat in the 15th fairway.
00:44He had a 28% chance to win the tournament, to win the green jacket.
00:48He finished his round with a 1.7% chance to win.
00:51And it's funny because I was on with Carver when all of this was taking place.
00:55And he had Rose as a first-round leader.
00:58And he's like, I don't feel safe with Rory.
01:00He's already in the fairway on the par five.
01:01He's going to make eagle and Mike's going nuts and everything.
01:04I said, you know what?
01:04Let's just let this play out.
01:06And I know that Ben asked me the question yesterday morning.
01:08You know, what about Rory?
01:10And I don't know if I answered it to the best of my ability, but we all knew at some point, or at least I knew at some point,
01:16that there was going to be some sort of mental lapse on Mr. McIlroy.
01:21And we saw it yesterday.
01:22I thought it would be a little later in the tournament, but it happened yesterday when the pressure mounted.
01:27All of a sudden, the ball started finding the water.
01:29And then the other double bogey was just really just not good golf.
01:32Totally unforced to your point, DRS.
01:35For Rory being an even, he's four back from second place.
01:39He's seven back.
01:40Oh, now eight back from the leader.
01:42I mean, a lot needs to happen.
01:43I heard you guys right before the break as I was logging on.
01:46You know, it's tough to come back for more than the top ten.
01:49I'll see you guys if you've got any time.
01:50Let's go.
01:51Let's go.
01:51Let's go.
01:52Let's go.
01:53Let's go.
01:54Let's go.
01:54Let's go.
